PIZZA POCKETS



Pizza Pockets image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 4h20m

Yield 18 pizza pockets

Number Of Ingredients 22

2 teaspoons instant or active dry yeast
8 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2/3 cup olive oil, plus more for coating the bowl
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 onion, diced
8 ounces white button mushrooms, sliced
8 ounces brown button mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 cup white wine
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
8 ounces Italian sausage
Olive oil, for browning sausage
1 jar marinara sauce
8 ounces fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
4 ounces pepperoni
4 ounces Canadian bacon
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • For the dough: Sprinkle the yeast over 3 cups warm (not lukewarm) water. Let stand for a few minutes.
  • In a mixer, combine the flour and salt. With the mixer running on low speed (with a paddle attachment), drizzle in the olive oil until combined with the flour. Next, pour in the yeast/water mixture and mix until just combined and the dough comes together. (The dough will be sticky.) Form the dough into a ball.
  • Coat a separate mixing bowl with a light drizzle of olive oil and toss the dough in the olive oil to coat. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set it aside for 1 hour to rise. Then put it in the fridge to chill for 2 hours or longer. (The dough is much easier to work with when very cold.)
  • For the mushroom version: Add the olive oil to a pan with the heat on medium and saute the garlic and onions for about a minute. Add the mushrooms and thyme and saute for 3 minutes. Add the white wine and reduce for a couple of minutes until most of the liquid is gone. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool to room temperature.
  • For the meat version: Crumble the Italian sausage into a skillet with some olive oil and brown until cooked through, 5 minutes. Let cool.
  • When you are ready to make the pizza pockets, take half the dough and roll it out into a large rectangle. Cut into 18 rectangles with a rectangular cutter. Put 9 of the rectangles onto a baking sheet and top them with the fillings for the meat version: some marinara sauce, mozzarella, sausage, pepperoni and Canadian bacon. Lay the other 9 rectangles on top and crimp the edges with a fork. Brush with the beaten egg. Put into the freezer to flash-freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Repeat with the other half of the dough and the fillings for the mushroom version: some mozzarella, goat cheese and the sauteed mushrooms.
  • When the pockets have been flash-frozen, transfer to ziptop bags and store in the freezer.
  • When ready to cook, place on a baking sheet and bake at 450 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes.

PIZZA POCKETS



Pizza pockets image

These pastries will be a hit with everyone. Make them vegetarian by leaving out the pepperoni and adding a pinch of chilli flakes for a similar spicy kick

Provided by Katy Greenwood

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 50m

Yield makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tbsp oil
1 large garlic clove , crushed
½ tsp dried oregano
400g can plum tomatoes , drained and crushed
1 tbsp tomato purée
2 x 320g sheets ready-rolled shortcrust pastry
250g grated mozzarella
80g pepperoni , chopped
160g pack stuffed green olives , halved
1 egg , beaten

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the garlic and oregano, and cook for 1 min until fragrant. Stir in the tomatoes and tomato purée, and cook over a high heat for about 5 mins until thickened.
  • Unroll the pastry, cut each sheet into quarters, and arrange on two baking trays. Spread a little of the tomato sauce over half of each quarter, keeping a border about 0.5cm around the edge. Top with the cheese, followed by the pepperoni and olives (this keeps the cheese from sticking to the top of the pastry as it melts). Brush the edges with egg and fold over the uncovered half of the pastry, pressing down the edges with a fork to seal. If you have time, leave the pockets in the fridge for at least 15 mins to firm up.
  • Before baking, make a hole in the top of the pockets and brush with a little more egg. Bake for 20 mins or until golden.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use high-quality ingredients. Fresh dough, quality mozzarella cheese, and flavorful pepperoni will make all the difference in the taste of your pizza pockets.
  • Don't overstuff your pizza pockets. If you add too many toppings, they will be difficult to seal and may burst open while cooking.
  • Be careful not to overcook your pizza pockets. Overcooked pockets will be dry and tough. Cook them until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  • Serve your pizza pockets with your favorite dipping sauce. Marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or garlic butter are all great options.
